Structure, question about loading in your own samples
 

Hello. I'm new to the forum and would like to thank everyone in advance for your time and knowledge.

I'm using Structure LE on PT 7.4.

I have a few of the goldbaby drum libraries and I load the samples through the browser with ease.

My problem is, when I hit (say an 808 kick with a long sustain), it only plays the wav file for the duration of the time I hold onto the midi note on my padkontrol.

Generally, this results in annoying MIDI edits later as well as a performance that may or may not be changed because I can't hear the sample ring out.

My question is: is it possible to just hit the the pad and have the note sustain without having to physically hold my finger down for the length of the wav file (and as you guys know, an 808 kick can be looong). I know this is how it works in BFD as well as the stock Structure sounds.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

William

Sample playback is determined by note duration.

Thanks for your response.

Maybe I should look into GURU or some sort of drum editor. Structure will still be useful, but it's just not cutting it for drums for the above reason.

In structure LE, highlight the part that contains the notes you want to sustain, then click on "Part Edit 2". Then in the amplifier AHDSR envelope, push the release all the way up..

Pushing the AMP ENV Release out is okay but what happens if there is a synth pad or loop that needs sustaining?

The OP is talking about drums. It would be a shame to have to spend more money when Structure LE will do what is needed, at the very least for drums..

The point is Structure family does not support Latch mode. ;)

Push the amp env out, it's fine.

Not sure what you mean by latch mode filo, I know what it is, but why you think it would be useful?

Re: Structure, question about loading in your own samples
 

Transfuser 'One-Shot' play mode comes to mind Russ. Personally though I'm in two minds about a one-shot play mode or latch mode regarding Structure. On the one hand (no pun intended) a single strike of a key or keys should sustain the sample length or loop in playback whilst on thee other the current workflow is gate length. IMO maybe a check preference.

It's a request made on the DUC by many users. ;)

Agreed.
